20 - 21st of August, 2009

I had tears in my eyes when I sailed out. I did not expect so many people to wave me farewell when I was leaving the bay. They shouted greetings, wished me a good voyage and blessed me. I have never received as many wind flown kisses as there. Leo played the horn...
The cruise started great. There was just enough wind, blowing from a proper direction. I checked everything, it was a bit cold. I am still between the islands and I keep watch, correcting course from time to time (because of currents). In three hours, it will start to dawn...

I can still see the land of the next island. It is wonderful!
